An amended complaint, with the
permission of the court, has heen I
filed In the circuit court by the Ash- I
land Baptist church against the First
Baptist church of Ashland, as another
chapter In the religious controversy
for the possession of "church property ,
arising out o the "divine healing
meetings" of 'Dr. Price in 11)21. The
First Baptist church is pictured as :
following the tenets of the "Four
Square Gospel," and a faith ' not
"Paptlstie." ...
The amended complaint recites the
difficulties that have beset the flock,
and adds that the results of resolu
tions and church action, .since tho.
storm broke last October, as follows:
On October 23, 1924, the Rogue
River Baptist Ministerial association
adopted a resolution that "the resig
nation of the Rev. P. C, Miller would
npt be inadvisable."
On January 12, 1925, tho Portland
Baptist Ministerial association adopt
ed a resolution holding that the
teachings of tho "Four Square Gos
pel" wore not "baptistic," nnd the
executive committee of the Baptist
church endorsed the resolution.
The Rogue River Baptist associa
tion On January 25, 1120, again up
held the stand of tho Ashland Bap
tist church in the controversy.
The same day the Portland Baptist
Ministerial association passed a reso
lution refusing to "recognize as brcth
ern in the faith." followers of tho
"Four Square Gospel."
A few days later the Rogue River
association adopted a resolution that
"withdrew the hand of fellowship in
faith from the Rev. It. C. Miller," and
endorsed the "Truo Baptist" wing.
The- resolution charges that the
Rev. Miller "forsook tho faith"; "lving
on the floor in hysteria, speaking in
strango gibberish," and "remained at
'Tarry Meetings' until late night and
early in the morning," exposing the
Baptist church "to ridicule."
The Ashland Baptist church has
been upheld . In the councils of tho
uhurch on all contentions, and have
won tho only -legal skirmish to date'
tho denying of a motion by the First
Baptists to make the complaint more
specific. : j w
Breakfast" problem
"QATS and milk" . . . that's the
right summer breakfast.
Serve the oats with rich, fresh
. milk . . . lots of it. Then hot days
will bother you but little.
Just get Quick Quaker. It cooks
in 3 to 5 minutes.
That's faster tHan toast. Cooked
and ready before the kitchen has
a chance to heat up !
All that rare Quaker flavor is
there . . . the flavor you expect of
Quaker Oats.
Cooks faster, that's the only dif
ference. And that's a difference
. you wanted, isn't it? .
